Beit HaKerem (Hebrew בית הכרם, literally "house of the vineyard") is a biblical place associated with the Tribe of Judah (Neh. 3:14). Some identify Beit HaKerem with Ein Kerem. Others place Beit HaKerem south of Jerusalem, at Ramat Rachel, where cairns on the ridge may have served as beacons of old. Others say it was near Tekoa, later known as Herodium According to the Bible, the trumpet sounded against the invading army of Babylon at this place (Jer. 6:1).
